Opening Lines

Standing on the corner

Where I first saw her

In the summer sunset

She came in from the Midwest

Books that she’s reading

We’ll all dropouts anyway

Tonight she’s bleeding

Like a Tennessee Williams play



Don’t look back silver Manhattan

All your dreams are true

Night goes black

They can’t put a price on you



She was on a mission

Another drunk musician

Fix your hair and makeup

Talk about he breakup

I’m an illusion

But I need it anyway



Don’t look back silver Manhattan

Can you still be true?

She wore black

Summer came shining through



Well she had a baby

Moved up to Brewster



Don’t look back silver Manhattan

All your dreams are true

I’ll be back and we’ll have a drink or two



How do you make it alone

Written in lipstick or stone

How do you make it alone

Innocent, listless and stoned
